We have worked with Dovetail & Slate for over four years, they have been an invaluable partner and are now our preferred recruitment agency and we always trust that they can help with any hard-to-fill vacancies within the Prison Education and FE/HE divisions of the Weston College Group.
We have worked closely together and built great working relationships. Their rates are always competitive and their ability to listen, be responsive and work with us is like no other agency.

We have a great relationship with Dovetail & Slate as a recruitment partner. They have supported us through traditional recruitment routes, understood our specific requirements and actively sought out business context to help them help us find the right people. They have also supported us with less traditional routes for recruitment, helped with events and promotions and worked with a dedicated team who know the College has really supported this.
In addition we have worked with Talentia Talent Services through consultancy to review our recruitment methods and processes and are in the middle of a large scale project that will support the team with efficiencies and outcomes.
Both teams work closely with us to ensure that we find high quality candidates whilst reducing total spend and developing efficiencies.

I have worked with PJ for over a year, and he has been exceptionally supportive in our search for both temporary and permanent candidates in niche areas. PJ consistently kept us informed throughout the process and provided a professional service. His proactive communication and thorough understanding of our needs have been invaluable. PJ's dedication and attention to detail ensured that we found the right candidates efficiently.

David at Dovetail & Slate has been first class at providing temporary Maths staff across our four campuses. In the past year, he has delivered five high quality placements, of which one has already converted from temp to perm.
I truly enjoyed working with Dovetail & Slate and highly recommend their recruitment services.

Assistant Head of School
Preston College
We have many staffing challenges across the College – particularly in construction and engineering. Dovetail and Slate present the perfect agency partner to help; they communicate exceptionally quickly and have an extensive range of specialist consultants, whether it’s an Accountancy Tutor or a Technical Engineering Trainer they’ve always delivered.
They’ve made 23 placements over the last two years – which represents a considerable portion of our agency usage for that period. We have always had first-class customer service from the Vetting and Compliance Team, which has allowed us to get the right staff in when we need them.

I always go to Dovetail and Slate when I have a staffing headache – particularly in construction, motor vehicle, and engineering.
Dovetail has always gone the extra mile to find me the person I need, even if they’ve been working until 9 pm, which gives me comfort when I need someone in front of students.
They have been my go-to agency for over 2 years, and I find them a pleasure to deal with across the board. We have always had first-class customer service from Guy and the Quality Team; I would recommend them to any College, School or Training Provider.
